Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation

2x + 2 + 3x - 1 + x +4 = 29             Collect like terms on the left

6x + 5 = 29                                     Subtract 5 from both sides

6x = 29 - 5

6x = 24                                            Divide by 6

x = 24/6

x = 4

Length of the Sides.

2x + 2 = 2*4+2 = 10

3x - 1 = 3*4 - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11

x + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8

Type of Triangle

Scalene.
